FALSE FATE
This is what it sounds like when a doom-metal drummer gets into synthesizers. FALSE FATE combines drone, doom, noise and metal influences to create “cinematic synth doom”. What started as a studio project during the world’s longest lockdown has turned into a live act. Shows around Melbourne and latest releases can be found by following @falsefate_ on Instagram.
AI REELS
I’m always writing new ideas for FALSE FATE. Some of them I’ve turned into short social media music reels by combing AI with Premiere and Photoshop.
DRONE YOUTUBE CHANNEL
What started as a “drone diary” has turned into a YouTube channel with over 500 subscribers. Video performances combine synthesizers designed in Russia and Poland with effects pedals and Ableton Live software to create ambient, atmospheric drones.

Perhaps the loudest band to come out of Perth. West Australian Music Award winners for “Best Metal Band” in 2012 and 2022, and I was nominated for “Best Drummer” in 2018. The video on this page was the feature video on Dark Mofo’s festival homepage in 2022.
